Meaford Report- Friday, Sept. 30th, Interesting Day

We were on the water and fishing by 8:30. Sunny, cool and very little wind.

Started fishing in 30fow and following the shore down towards the river mouth. Marking lots of bait and a few fish. Something hit my blue/siver Gibbs Koho spoon down 20ft in 25fow.
It made one mighty run and that was it--gone. No other hits all day.

We fished the 25fow-50fow some more and marked lots of bait and a few fish.

Moved out to deeper water and marked the odd suspended fish, as well as lots of bait.

In the 100fow to 140fow we marked hundreds of fish tight to bottom. I'm guessing they were whitefish. We ran a variety of small silver spoons down at their depth, but no takers.

Packed it in a 1PM.

Hopefully you get them next time. Good luck.

Thanks for the report...

That sounds like you had a steelhead on. The location, depth and time of year and the way it ran on hook up... Target species, fall chromer...

Sorry it got away, but good outing all the same..

Cheers and happy fishing

I have been having success in Nottawasaga Bay, also on spoons. Collingwood parking fees finally end tomorrow.

Good to know.

Thank you.
